Are you coming up, Gary? If so, look me up. I'll be there every day. Don't know what I'll be doing yet, but just ask for the "Rev."

Hopefully this happens and they don't have to cancel. I am planning on going Saturday. Should be a good time and perhaps the only show that may happen this year the way it's going.

It will be interesting to see what the ER town board will do with a gathering of this size. Cranberry Fest follows in October and that brings in 20 to 30,000 people and your elbow to elbow in the fair grounds and a huge economic surge for the area. Idk cancel one and not cancel the other wouldn’t make sense. This will be very interesting to see how the town board handles these promotions just no way to social distance imo.

Pete, it was approved by the town board. Of course, that is contingent upon covid staying level or down, if it goes up, it will probably be cancelled. Also, they are not expecting the crowds that Hay Days gets.

Chuck I hope it happens very smart for Russ and crew to promote this show and fills a huge preseason void. I hope it happens and is successful. I was planning on attending the 2020 Milwaukee Snow Show but I don’t have much confidence that will happen.

What I meant to say is they want something to do. Normally we go to a fair, or the tractor pull, or Hay days. But this year just isn't what they normally expect from summer. So they will enjoy going just to go somewhere that has something to do with what they enjoy.

Sorry, my bad. If you come, look me up. I'm the Track Chaplain and will be around somewhere, Rev.

$50.00 for me and the wife to have the privilege of buying someone else's junque?.....LOL....or am I missing something?....live bands?, free beer pass?.....carnival rides?
I like the idea of the event, but I think your overall attendance and take would be better and the whole event more successful with a more reasonable gate fee.
Your vendors need bodies....and wallets.... to make bank.

My favorite thing at the fair!!! haven't missed one in at least 40 years! hair still stands on end when that beautiful red, ivory and chrome International 1066 turbo is at the line waiting for the engine to catch up with the turbo!! Union Grove will be having a tractor pull in August! and I'm sure it will be a good show...knowing who it putting it together! DONT MISS IT!

Dozin Through & Reaper, my husband's favorite tractor is the first one he ever bought a 1974 International 1066. Only thing left to do to her is a sweet paint job and it'll be like new. First time since we got married that we didn't go to the Budweiser Pull in Tomah, and that was because they canceled! One of the things we do every year that has been messed up by this whole debacle.

Anyone heard what vendors they have lined up for this? Have family in the area, was thinking about coming up labor day weekend. Might delay a week if this will be a decent event.

Excellent question and knowing how OEMS budget marketing money it might be tough to attend this event. So far Fall Snow Show in Milwaukee in October is on. I was hoping the Derby would have a follow up announcement so we know the Vendor list.

As of Wednesday everything is still up in the air somewhat. Believe they are waiting for full commitments in some areas before they make anymore announcements. My gut feeling is it will be a great time and many vendors as long as covid doesn't spike. Fones have been busy. There are definitely a lot of preparations going on, both with vendors and the facilities. I wouldn't think that this would be unless it is a major go. Might know more by the end of next week. I will be working at the track a few days on a couple of projects. Rev
